The base mount for the Engage is indeed some sort of plastic. But there is plastic and their is plastic . As secure as the base is mounted and as strong as it is I would expect your complete gas tank to come off before it would break. Mac

I would buy the Emgage bag again. It is very well made and the curve in the bag matches the curve in the FJR gas tank so you have to look twice before you notice it is not tied down. It is very easy to mount and remove. You will have to buy the map case seperate but I love it also. It is...

I use their magnetic tank bag on my Ural and love it, it is very well made. If you are looking for a quick release tank bag, you should also look at the Engage tank bag from Twisted Throttle. I use the 7.5 L. tank bag on my FJR, they also have a 15L tank bag. You can move the bag forward or...

I have added the following farkles to my 07. Cee Bailey windshield with a flip Sliders fender extender grip puppies Cruise control Givi top box with lights Powerlet , for heated clothing/Battery tender Ram mount for GPS I also bought all the tools needed to do Throttle bodie sync. and a...

OK, Corey, I assume that you now have your bike in the garage. That will make the winter pass easier, every once in awhile you can go out and look at it and dream of all the trips you are going to take come spring. Congrats. Mac

I should have added on my last post, DON'T YOU KNOW THAT IT IS SUPPOSE TO SNOW TONIGHT, it will be a nasty drive tomorrow. Be careful . mac

Welcome to the clan Corey, it is nice to see another FJR rider in the neighbor hood . You are going to love the bike , I know I love my 07. Haven't had problem one . If you see an 07 in CR this spring, it will probably be me. Mac

Grip puppies will help your hand/wrist and they are real cheap. I installed them first thing on my 07, then later had Smitty install a cruise control. Mac

I forgot to add to my previous reply , that if you wear some heated clothing and keep your core temp. up you will help your feet and hands stay warm. I wear a heated long sleeve jacket liner which really helps. I used to use a vest but found my arms getting cold so went for the full liner...

In the cold weather I wear a pair of zip up dress boots and have inserted felt liners from hunting boots in them and then of course wool socks. If you are going someplace where you need shoes you would have to carry them with you and change when you arrive. The rubber does a good job in blocking...

They are always stiff at first. Just use your key and unlock the latch and then lift up on the handle. It will come but will take some pressure at first. Also do not forget to lock tite your locking mechanism screws. Mac

Why not put BT 020's back on if you like them. They are still available. Like you I got over 9K miles on the 020's and no problems. Then I decided I would try the 021"s . I have gotten good milage with them ,8K so far, but I don't like the wear pattern. I have a set of 020"s waiting to...

Don't forget why they invented horns. :rolleyes: HONK HONK HONK Mac

I live in Iowa and we have winters like yours, sometimes 10-15 below. I rotate one battery tender between two bikes and a lawn tractor and never have a problem in the spring. Please don't be one of those who starts their bike and then turns it off. If you are going to start it make sure it...

I just use the cig. socket in the glove box. There is a rubber grommet on the bottom of the box which you can run your cable thru so you do not have to cut a hole. You would need to remove the grommet , cut it then place it around the cable and then re install in the hole at the bottom of the...

I use Bridgestone 020 and carry 40 pounds in front and rear and do not have a cupping problem. I live in Iowa and have the same problem as you in that I have to ride a ways to get to a fun road. I get about 9K miles on the tires , could probably run longer on the front but like to change both...

The bag is not too large but I liked it on the Ural as it has a fairly small gas tank. I carried my camera ( small , like a pack of cigs. ) tire pressure gage, hand lotion, sun tan lotion, maps and some munchies. Mac

I sure hope you get a reply on your question. I am guilty of leaving my turn signals on now and again and would love to have something that would cancel them besides my thumb. Mac

Really great trip report and pictures. Thanks, I have been on all of those roads and it brings back great memories. Mac
